[Feature Request] Cache Deletion

[Talicada]

If not already implemented..

Cache Deletion

Provide a way for users to be able to delete a certain file, specified by a URL, or the entire website from the cache with just the domain name.


Examples

forum.wingate.com/styles/prosilver/imageset/qbik_logo.gif | Only deletes the gif

forum.wingate.com/* | Deletes all saved files for this domain name

*.wingate.com | Deletes all files from every single domain name. This would also affect websites that have no sub-domains i.e. wingate.com


Thanks,
Talicada

Hi

Short answer is we can't do this sorry. We index on MD5 of the URI, and there's no way back to the URL from that. This is because URLs are variable length and can be very long (many 10s of kB).

You can disable caching for a site though, and in flow-chart policy you can prevent a request being satisfied from cache.

Also if you want to replace content in a cache, a force refresh in a browser pointing to that site should do it.
